On Saturday, Israel announced it had killed Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime leader of Hezbollah, in a powerful series of airstrikes that rocked Beirut on Friday evening. The Iranian-backed militia later confirmed Nasrallah's death.
The announcement came after an eventful and deadly 12 days in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah — including the killing of several other high-ranking Hezbollah officials and more than 1,000 people in Lebanon after a series of near-synchronized explosions followed by thousands of Israeli airstrikes over several days. These attacks left thousands more wounded and displaced tens of thousands of people.
Hezbollah also retaliated against Israel, firing hundreds of rockets toward northern Israel and at least one cruise missile toward Tel Aviv; it was intercepted by Israel's air defense system. It was the first time the militant group had ever done so. Although most of these projectiles were shot down, several did make it through, causing damage to residential homes, a regional hospital and injuring several civilians.
